Accessing the Timeline

You can access the Discovery timeline using either of the following methods:

Click the Show Discovery Timeline Related Link on any
Discovery Status form.

Navigate to the Discovery Dashboard. No additional configuration is
required.

Using Timelines

View timelines for an entire Discovery or for individual
devices in a Discovery. In the
out-of-box system, the maximum size Discovery that can be
displayed in a timeline is 300 entries in the ECC Queue (150 probes and 150
sensors). To display larger discoveries, change the default setting in the
glide.discovery.timeline.max.entries property.

Probe and sensor timelines are available automatically when Discovery starts. Partial
timelines for any device or for the entire Discovery can be viewed during
the scanning process. View the progress of the Discovery by refreshing the
browser.

Procedure

Navigate to Discovery > Status.

Select a Discovery from
the record list.

Click the Show Discovery Timeline Related Link.

The timeline for the entire Discovery appears,
unless the size threshold is exceeded. If the timeline is too large to
display, an error message appears.

Clear the warning, and then select the Devices Related
List.

Click the IP address of a device.

In the Device record, click the Show Discovery Timeline
Related Link.

The Discovery timeline
for that device appears.

Use the pink slider at the bottom of the timeline to change the
perspective.

Move the slider from right to left to view all the tasks on a long
timeline.

Adjust the end points of the slider to change the
magnification.

A narrow slider zooms in on the spans and provides a more detailed view of
complex timelines. A wide slider pulls the view out and makes more of the
timeline visible on the screen.

Use the selector range at the top of the screen to adjust the visible time
frame. To limit the timeline to the length of the Discovery, click
Max.

The time scale adjusts automatically to the length of the Discovery. The
available time scale range is from one day to 1 year.

Tooltips

Discovery timelines
display probe and sensor performance data and CI information in tooltips.
Hover the cursor over a span to view this data. Probes are displayed by
black spans. The queue time for a probe is shown as a silver bar within the
span, and the processing time is represented by the remaining space. Sensor
spans are red, and the queue time is shown as a green bar. Selected spans of
any type display in yellow.
